Choppy Webcam issue by beejetay on 10-03-2009 at 05:06 AM
Apparently I am the only one in my family with any problems.
My brother in AZ uses MSN messenger to chat with my parents in FL, his in-laws in ND, and friends in OH. He has smooth audio & video using his laptop with the built in webcam...
However, when I connect to him or my parents, it is very choppy (video) and there are long delays (audio). Which means it has to be something on my end.
I am running XP SP3) with Pentium 4 - 3.2 GHz, 2GB DDR2 ram, well maintained system with no spyware/adware/viruses (using Webroot AV, Spybot S&D, ATF-Cleaner, CCleaner). I have a Microsoft VX-6000 webcam and using RoadRunner with 17.22 Mb/s down & .49Mb/s up.
Any thoughts why I am the only one with issues?
